Heyyy popular people. 

I am a queer, African American, fem-presenting individual. My pronouns are she, he, and they.

I am the founder of @POPSTARPRESENTS, a fashion-opinionated artist, painter, fashion designer, tarot card reader, and trendsetter. 

I was born on Oct. 27, 2000, in Montgomery, Alabama. I started drawing at age 6 and customizing clothing and furniture at 14. 

@POPSTARPRESENTS is a platform for marginalized groups to display the artistic talents of all media, to form a judgment-free zone, and to connect with people of the same community and the same subgenres. African Americans make up only 14% of Americans and a fraction of us are queer or fems. I have always been someone who’ll stand out and brighten the room just by being myself despite criticism from the naysayers and the stereotypes.

I moved to Northwest Indiana in 2001, then to the DMV in 2020, where I’ve seen Black excellence like no other and people of color thrive. After moving back home, I was determined to show the people of Gary, Indiana the same by displaying talented individuals from all over the world, the underworld, and the galaxy. I hold my head up every day for the ones who count. 

Star da philosopher: Maturing is realizing people with mental imbalance deserve help, even when others think they’re unlikeable. Mental imbalance (also called mental illness) encompasses a range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. But, per my therapist, “it should not be called mental illness because that implies you can’t get better.”
